Special programs, (IPLTEXT and AEBOOTØ1) for the development and use of stand-alone programs for the IBM 360 computer

Abstract

A special [PL disk program, IPLTEXT, and a stand-alone program, AEBOOTØ1, are described. Their combined use provides a powerful way of developing and running stand-alone programs. Both programs can be used on any IBM 360 computer that normally operates under OS/360. A stand-alone program can be assembled and put onto disk in load-module form as a member of a partitioned data set by using standard IBM 360 Job Control Language. By specifying the appropriate DSNAME and member name using the computer console typewriter, this stand-alone program may subsequently be executed by loading it into core storage under the control of the IPLTEXT-AEBOOTØ1 system.
